"Giant Days" is a slice of life comic about three girls in their first year of university. After three weeks as roommates, Daisy, Susan, and Esther become fast friends despite their differing personalities. Together they deal with such troubling woes as cyber creeps, unexpected visits from grandma, and a particularly bad case of the flu. Funny, honest, and at times a bit manic, I was completely caught up in the character's lives and their evolving friendship. I found myself relating to a lot of the challenges they faced. I also laughed loud enough to be heard through a wall, so I'd say this book has something for everyone. — From Halley

Description

Susan, Esther, and Daisy started at university three weeks ago and became fast friends. Now, away from home for the first time, all three want to reinvent themselves. But in the face of hand-wringing boys, "personal experimentation," influenza, mystery-mold, nu-chauvinism, and the willful, unwanted intrusion of "academia," they may be lucky just to make it to spring alive. Going off to university is always a time of change and growth, but for Esther, Susan, and Daisy, things are about to get a little weird.

Giant Days Volume 1, created and written by longtime webcomic creator John Allison(Bad Machinery, Scary Go Round) and Disney artist Lissa Treiman collects the first four issues of the critically-acclaimed series from BOOM Box.
